Looking for some guidance. Do folks have anything in addition to the stick AP on off and cb ? Have there been issues of the stick switch failing and not being able to get to the cb quicker enough ?

You are worrying about nothing.
The disconnect switch works well. If you have an AP74 the big engage / disengage works fine....
C/B is a last resort, but I can not imagine ever having to use it. Besides you can over ride the servo or break the shear screw if you ever get that desperate.
Relax and enjoy!

Thanks David. Just continuing to second guess myself at every opportunity.

I would not contradict anything said in this thread, but I would add that switches do sometime fail, therefore do include a pullable circuit breaker for the servo power where the pilot can reach it in flight. Mine is a little ways across the cockpit, but I do have it. The failure is an unlikely event, but the consequences relatively severe.
I used primarily fuses in my airplane, but that is one of 4 circuit breakers I have. The others are one for each of two alternator over-voltage circuits, and a buss cross-tie which is for convieniece only.

Agreed 100%
We do have a 10A push/pull CB for our servo's, and wired accordingly for SV52's.
